Our two girls were asked to be Flower Girls in my cousin Brittany’s wedding this month.  It was a beautiful outdoor wedding.

Here’s Ella waiting for wedding party pictures with her cousin-in-crime, Justin.  Can’t you FEEL her I-can’t-sit-still-one-more-minute energy??!

And DURING the wedding:

Ever notice how completely different two children from the same family can be?  These pictures illustrate how our 6 year old Maggie somehow managed to keep every strand and bobby pin in place – 4 hours after she was styled. 

Notice in the next two pictures how she doesn’t even move from one minute to the next?…. 

She’s thinking about how beautiful her cousin Brittany looks and dreaming of her OWN wedding – THIRTY years from now…

“Hhmm… maybe I’ll have an outdoor, barefoot wedding with a beautiful organza strapless A-line dress that is form fitted across the waist and falls to the floor….”

Ella is thinking, “I heard there’s going to be cake.”

Cake.

Cake.

Cake.

“When will I get cake?!!!”

We did manage to get SOME decent pictures of Ella though…

She was especially happy when she got her Ring Pop after a job well done.  It’s a good thing, because she fell asleep before the bride and groom were able to cut their cake… 

Don’t worry… she always has MAGGIE’s wedding cake to look forward to…
